Lotus, Enterprise Renting Elise

No more Cobalts for you - it's time to think Lotus when renting your next car. The Atlanta-based sports car company says it's now offering its two-seat Elise roadster in select Enterprise Rent-A-Car outlets.

Some 50 Elises will make their way into the rental fleets in cities like San Francisco, L.A., Vegas, and San Diego. Lotus hopes to get the cars out in states other than California, Florida, and Nevada in the near future. The Elise soldiers on for the 2007 model year as a 190-hp, two-seat roadster weighing less than 2000 pounds, giving it better dynamics than just about anything else at the Enterprise counter.

The first and last time I rented a car was on my honeymoon in Hawaii, and I don't remember how much I paid. How much would a car like this cost per day to rent?

A lot. When I went to California a few years ago, we rented a Mini Cooper S for a day at an Enterprise that rented everything from Mustangs to Porsches to Corvettes to Bentleys. To rent the Mini for two days cost like $120 a day and this was 2 years ago.


EDIT: Found it. It'll be $199 a day to rent an Elise from Enterprise. http://blogs.cars.com/kickingtires/2006/10/lotus_offers_el.html
